BOSTON — Three hundred ninety-nine down and still one more to go.
With Igor Shesterkin in the net for Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Bruins on Saturday, Jonathan Quick is expected to take his fourth shot at becoming the first U.S.-born netminder in NHL history to achieve the 400-win milestone when the Blueshirts face Vegas at the Garden on Sunday to complete the weekend back-to-back.
Quick has gone 0-1-2 since recording No. 399 against the Bruins in New York on Jan. 2, surrendering five goals twice and six goals once.
He has gone 1-4-2 since opening the year at 5-1.
The 39-year-old netminder — who recorded his first victory in his NHL debut on Dec. 6, 2007 in the Kings’ 8-2 triumph over the Sabres in Los Angeles in which Anze Kopitar recorded five assists — ranks 15th on the all-time wins leaderboard while trailing Chris Osgood by two.
The Rangers, who had encountered six back-to-back scenarios over their first 50 games, have eight sets of back-to-backs over the final 32 contests.
That includes this weekend.
Shesterkin, by the way, has started both ends of back-to-backs only three times in his NHL career, once in 2019-20 and twice in 2022-23.
That elevates Quick’s importance down the stretch with the 4 Nations Face-Off-induced condensed schedule every team will face the rest of the way.
Adam Edstrom left the game at the 7:51 mark of the second period and did not return due to what was identified as a lower-body injury by the Rangers.
His status for Sunday is questionable.
Jonny Brodzinski centered a remade third line while skating between Chris Kreider and Will Cuylle. Brodzinski had been scratched for the previous eight games since Jan. 11.
Jimmy Vesey was consigned to street clothes for the ninth straight match and 10th of the last 11 while Arthur Kaliyev was a healthy scratch after 10 straight in the lineup after being claimed off waivers from the Kings.
Zac Jones, who has not played since Dec. 23, was scratched for the 17th consecutive contest, veering dangerously close to Julien Gauthier territory.
The Bruins and Penguins come to the Garden on Wednesday and Friday, respectively, before the Blueshirts conclude their pre-4 Nations schedule in Columbus next Saturday.
